Hi all,

Many thanks for your kind words. I am very pleased with the colour!

What's your opinion of the performance of the 118i?
To be honest I have not really had the opportunity to drive the car alot. I have just returned from a 2 year secondment in Germany and my company have let me use a company car while I relocate and sort things out.

As a result I've only done 250 miles in it so far, but I am really impressed.

I have not pushed it to it's limits as I was advised to not go above 3000 rpm until I've done over 500 miles. I have had a play about in all of the driver modes though and there is a marked difference between each mode. That Sport button is a thing of beauty . Completely transforms the drive and is so much fun. Makes a nice noise as well.

So far my fuel economy is around 36MPG, but I expect this to improve.

I should say that I am not a massive car enthuiast like I'm sure many of you are. For the last 2 years I have been driving a company Passat 1.8 (140ps).

The F20 is alot more fun and has plenty of grunt!

Cheers,
